Review summary

I love NCL cruise lines. I would recommend to anyone cruising to try them.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had 12:30 to 1:00 embarkation time and we showed up at pm12:00 pm figuring we would get in line and wait. We would rushed through embarkation start to finish in 15 minutes. Best embarkation ever!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Could not fault any meals we had. Enjoyed the main dining rooms 4 times, ate at o'shengians, american diner, the buffet and Cagneys steak house. We were never hungry!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
They were plenty of activities for all ages but we are more secondary so we enjoyed the waterfront lounges, jogging trail. Also a game of giant chess.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
we enjoyed the theater and several music shows. Shows were well done.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I have been on five NCL cruises and this was my first woman steward. Helen was beyond helpful and always had a big smile on her face. The waiters were great and so were the bartenders!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
No fault found on ship layout and every area was always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was our first inside cabin. I was amazingly surprise with how well the smaller bedroom suited us. We are planning another cruise and using a inside cabin again. I am a minimalist packer so there was lots of space for the two of us for our clothes, room accessories, toiletries, etc. The bed was exceedingly comfortable and cabin was spotless!

Ship tip

You will get more out of your cruise if you bring a great attitude and do not let little things upset and spoil your trip. Make the most of your time away from the present. Enjoy yourself.

We did the Maya Keys retreat. I would live here in a heart beat! Pool was wonderful, beach was private, meal was delicious and seeing all the local wildlife was a treat!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We took a 9:30 disembarkation and it was great! Our line moved quickly, we walked out of the port and immediately caught the shuttle to our parking garage. We were on our way home by 10:30 am.
